Much has been written in recent years about the Middle East. At the same time, no other region has been as misunderstood, nor framed in so many clichés and mistakenly-held beliefs. In this much-needed exposé Fred Halliday selects one hundred of the most commonly misconstrued 'facts' - in the political, cultural, social and historical spheres - and illuminates each case without compromising its underlying complexities. The Israel-Palestine crisis, the Iran-Iraq war, the US-led Gulf incursions, the Afghan-Soviet conflict and other significant milestones in modern Middle East history come under scrutiny here, with conclusions that will surprise and enlighten many for going so persuasively against the grain. 'A writer of true calibre.' Independent 'Fred Halliday's grasp of the Middle East makes him an invaluable source of readable and authoritative material on the main issues.' Irish Times 'Fascinating reading … Challenging proverbial 'wisdom', pat answers and politically motivated lies, he addresses 100 common misconceptions about the Middle East and how the region figures into US and European foreign policy.' Jordan Times

A strikingly original play combining traditional storytelling with physical theatre, created by The Imaginary Body. Winner of a Fringe First at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival. Imagine that you must choose one single memory from your life./Imagine that choosing this memory is your only way of passing through to eternity./Imagine that you have just one hour to choose... 'Armed with only five bamboo sticks, the actors created a visual piece of theatre that captured the imagination of every spectator... They all left the theatre thinking about what their 'one memory' would be' - Joyce McMillan 'A theatre show that actually makes you think about your own life... fascinating' -Guardian 'This play moved me more profoundly than anything I can remember seeing' -Scotsman

UPDATED TO INCLUDE ALL THE ACTION FROM THE CLUB'S TITLE-WINNING CENTENARY YEAR. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, PUBLISHED IN ASSOCIATION WITH LEEDS UNITED 'Every up and down at Leeds United. Essential reading.' Phil Hay The definitive history of Leeds United's first century. 100 Years of Leeds United tells the story of a one-club city and its unique relationship with its football team. Since its foundation in 1919, Leeds United Football Club has seen more ups and downs than most, rising to global fame through an inimitable and uncompromising style in the 70s, clinching the last Division One title prior to the Premier League's inauguration in 1992, before a spectacular fall from grace at the start of the 21st century. United finally restored their top flight status after a sixteen-year wait with an unstoppable promotion campaign in the club's 100th year; the transformation under manager Marcelo Bielsa fittingly reminiscent of those instigated by Howard Wilkinson and Don Revie decades earlier. In 100 Years of Leeds United, Chapman delves deep into the archives to discover the lesser-known episodes, providing fresh context to the folkloric tales that have shaped the club we know today, painting the definitive picture of the West Yorkshire giants.

40 years ago as a Graduate student I wrote a book about Spaghetti Westerns, called 10,000 Ways to Die. It's an embarrassing tome when I look at it now: full of half-assed semiotics and other attenuated academic nonsense. In the intervening period, I have had the interesting experience of being a film director. So now, when I watch these films, I'm looking at them from a different perspective. A professional perspective maybe...I'm thinking about what the filmmakers intended, how they did that shot, how the director felt when his film was recut by the studio and he was creatively and financially screwed. 10,000 Ways to Die is an entirely new book about an under-studied subject, the Spaghetti Western, from a director's POV. Not only have these films stood the test of time; some of them are very high art. - Alex Cox

Dieses eBook wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Die Ausgabe ist mit interaktiven Inhalt und Begleitinformationen versehen, einfach zu navigieren und gut gegliedert. Gustav Weil (1808-1889) war deutscher Orientalist. Gustav Weil verstand es, auf Grund von Handschriften und gedruckten Büchern seinerzeit weit verbreitete historische und literarhistorische Darstellungen zu verfassen. Besonders bekannt ist er durch die erste werkgetreu und vollständig aus dem Urtext übersetzte Ausgabe von Tausendundeine Nacht geworden. Zur Inhalt: Schahriyâr, König einer ungenannten Insel "zwischen Indien und Kaiserreich China", ist so schockiert von der Untreue seiner Frau, dass er sie töten lässt und seinem Wesir die Anweisung gibt, ihm fortan jede Nacht eine neue Jungfrau zuzuführen, die jeweils am nächsten Morgen ebenfalls umgebracht wird. Nach einiger Zeit will Scheherazade, die Tochter des Wesirs, die Frau des Königs werden, um das Morden zu beenden. Sie beginnt, ihm Geschichten zu erzählen; am Ende der Nacht ist sie an einer so spannenden Stelle angelangt, dass der König unbedingt die Fortsetzung hören will und die Hinrichtung aufschiebt. In der folgenden Nacht erzählt Scheherazade die Geschichte weiter, unterbricht am Morgen wieder an einer spannenden Stelle… Inhalt: Geschichte des Kaufmanns mit dem Geiste Geschichte des zweiten Greises mit den beiden Hunden Geschichte Mahmuds Geschichte des Schneiders Erste Reise Sindbads Erzählung vom Schlafenden und Wachenden Geschichte des Königs Ibrahim und seines Sohnes Geschichte der Prinzessin von Deryabar Geschichte Alaeddins und der Wunderlampe Geschichte des Sidi Numan Geschichte des Prinzen Ahmed und der Fee Pari Banu Geschichte der zwei Liebenden Geschichte des Königs Kalad und seines Veziers Schimas Geschichte des Fisches im Wasserteich Geschichte des edlen Gebers und viel mehr...

Schon der Titel verrät, dass dieses Buch etwas mit dem Orient zu tun hat und sich auf 1001Geschichten bezieht. Geschichten, die auf Lüge und Betrug basieren. Viele junge Menschen, die keine Möglichkeit haben ihr Land zu verlassen, sehen die europäische Heirat als Mittel zum Zweck. Ein angenehmes Leben durch Geld und schließlich eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis für das Land, in dem die Geldscheine auf den Bäumen zu wachsen scheinen, ist für sie das erstrebenswerteste aller Ziele. Da dieses Ziel am leichtesten durch die Vortäuschung von Liebe zu erzielen ist, werden europäische Frauen und Männer im Urlaub zu Opfern eines interkulturellen Betruges, der sich Bezness nennt. Bezness findet aber nicht nur in Tunesien statt. Mittlerweile findet man diesen Geschäftszweig, der im Grunde mafiöse Strukturen aufweist in allen Urlaubsländern, in denen Armut und Korruption vorherrschen. Durch die 10jährige intensive Arbeit der Autorin und ihrer Mitstreiterinnen, die unaufhaltsame Verbreitung der "Wahren Geschichten" auf 1001Geschichte.de und zehntausenden von Verlinkungen im Internet verbreitete sich der Begriff Bezness relativ schnell. Heute ist er im Sprachgebrauch vieler Medien und einschlägiger Foren. Im Verlauf dieses Buches werden neben allen Fakten zum Thema und dem enormen Schaden, den Bezness für Betroffene und die Gesellschaft verursacht, auch einige wahre Geschichten veröffentlicht, die dem Leser die Augen öffnen werden. Nein, es sind keine Märchen aus 1001 Nacht, sondern wahre Schicksale, wie sie das Leben manchmal schreibt. 1001 Lüge ist ein Buch, das geschrieben werden musste um aufzuklären, Prävention zu schaffen und das eine Ergänzung zu der von Evelyne Kern gegründeten Internetseite 1001Geschichte.de ist.

The 20th century gave us two great theories of physics: the general theory of relativity, which describes the behaviour of things on a very large scale, including the entire Universe; and quantum theory, which describes the behaviour of things on a very small scale, the sub-atomic world. The refusal of the Universe to reveal an equation that combines these two great ideas has caused some people to doubt our whole understanding of physics. In this landmark new book, popular science master John Gribbin tells the dramatic story of the quest that has led us to discover the true age of the Universe (13.8 billion years) and the stars (just a little bit younger). This discovery, Gribbin argues, is one of humankind's greatest achievements and shows us that physics is on the right track to finding the 'Theory of Everything'. 13.8 provides an eye-opening look at this cutting-edge area of modern cosmology and physics, and tells the compelling story of what modern science has achieved – and what it can still achieve.

Two thousand years ago, the Roman poet Ovid gave voice to a group of inspirational women – queens, sorcerers, pioneers, poets and politicians – in a series of fictional letters called The Heroines. They were the women left in the wake of those swaggering heroes of classical mythology: Theseus, Hercules, Ulysses, Jason, Achilles… Now, drawing inspiration from Ovid, fifteen leading female and non-binary British playwrights dramatise the lives of these fifteen heroines in a series of new monologues for the twenty-first century. 15 Heroines was commissioned by Jermyn Street Theatre, London, and first performed – online and in three parts – in November 2020, presented in partnership with Digital Theatre. This edition of all fifteen monologues is introduced by directors – Adjoa Andoh, Tom Littler and Cat Robey – and writer, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes. The War tells the untold stories of the Trojan War: Oenone, Hermione, Laodamia, Briseis and Penelope, written by Lettie Precious, Sabrina Mahfouz, Charlotte Jones, Abi Zakarian and Hannah Khalil. The Desert is about women going their own way: Deianaria, Canace, Hypermestra, Dido and Sappho, written by April De Angelis, Isley Lynn, Chinonyerem Odimba, Stella Duffy and Lorna French. The Labyrinth is about the women who encountered Jason and Theseus: Ariadne, Phaedra, Phyllis, Hypsipyle and Medea, written by Bryony Lavery, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Samantha Ellis, Natalie Haynes and Juliet Gilkes Romero.

When Hernán Cortés met the Mayans, Aztecs and other cultures of the gulf coast of Mexico in 1519, it was the first extended contact between the peoples of continental America and Europe. The Spanish found cities larger and better run than any in Europe, and pyramids greater than Egypt's. The Aztecs believed time was running down and they lived in the final age of the world. Many Spaniards believed Christ's millennium was approaching, and God's revelation of Americas had opened the final act: the conversion of the remote races of the earth. After the Day of Judgement God's experiment with man was over. The laboratory, the physical world, would be destroyed. Both cultures were acting out the last days. Halfway through researching this book John Harrison had a scan which told him he would not live to write it; he was seeing out his own days. The Aztec people were concerned with the transitory nature of worldly things; some of their rulers were revered as much for their philosophical poetry as their conquests. John Harrison follows Cortés's route along the Mexican coast and across country to modern Mexico City, home of the Aztecs. A journey within journeys to the end of time, the book becomes a meditation on time, on mortality and self, from a modern master of travel writing.
